Null reference when filling form field in PDF

Aspose.PDF Product Family
1

Hello,

I am using Aspose.PDF for .Net 17.4 to fill a PDF form field using the following code:

Document pdfDocument = new Document(@“legal-aid-crm11-cost-summary (1).pdf”);
TextBoxField f = pdfDocument.Form[0] as TextBoxField;
f.Value = “test update”;

This throws a null reference exception when Value is being set - do I need to do something different here?
Form attached.
